Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Tender chicken breast sautéed with whole wheat penne in a silky, vibrant basil pesto sauce folded with fresh baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked whole wheat penne
1.5 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the basil pesto, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice in a small bowl until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Reduce the skillet heat to low; add the cooked penne and fresh baby spinach to the pan with the chicken.
Pour the pesto yogurt sauce over the pasta mixture and toss gently for 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted and the pasta is thoroughly coated.
